Many people don't know that skin is the largest organ on the human body. Its many functions incorporate every other system in our bodies. Though skin disorders are often the easier maladies to treat, there are some instances when it takes a little more than some topical ointments to rid rashes. Among other useful treatments, researches now believe that hypnotherapy can greatly increase the healing process and general well-being of patients suffering from atopic dermatitis, a skin disease similar to eczema.
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) usually affects infants, toddlers, children, and young adults who have a family history of hay fever and asthma. Symptoms often include red, itchy, and flaky skin that is easily irritated. Persistent scratching worsens the symptoms and may often negatively affect both the physical and mental state of the patient. The scratching can also leave embarrassing marks all over the affected area.
Typically, treatment of the disease includes application of ointments and high doses of moisturizers, but now a revolutionary study showed that it's even possible to mentally treat the disease.
Researchers at the Barnsley District General Hospital in the United Kingdom performed a study to show the affects of hypnotherapy on patients with atopic dermatitis. 18 adults with heavy AD, which had been resistant to standard medical treatments, and 20 children with severe AD were tested for the study.
Almost immediately, all but 1 participant started showing improvements. The treatment lasted throughout an 18-month period of time and improvements remained constant throughout the next 2 clinical testing appointments following the initial session. Of the children, 10 experienced immediate relief from itching and scratching, 9 had an increase in calmer sleeping patterns, and 7 showed improvements in their general moods.
